Lotta Geranium dress

Well I knew I’d be making another Geranium dress soon, since the last one turned out so cute! I started cutting this one out last week and totally messed up laying out my pieces. (this is why I shouldn’t be allowed to sew after 9 pm…so pathetic) So I ordered another yard because I just HAD to make it work. I mean, hello this fabric is probably among my favorites I’ve sewn with! Ever.

I went with some mustard yellow covered buttons-love how that turned out! Although Charlotte tried her best to convince me to use green.

I love love love the front cut out. I can’t rave enough about this pattern! I haven’t even tried the flutter sleeves or different neckline options yet! I cut out a 3T for Sadie…Rae’s finished garment measurements are spot on. I did lengthen the skirt about an inch and a half since my girly seems to be sprouting up!

The Sadester is equally in love with it. She called it “BEautiful” ” Spinny” and “awesome!”

She also couldn’t find the pockets for awhile. She told me with a sad face,” Sorry Mom….I don’t think you can take a picture of me with my hands in my pockets.” Me: “why not?” Sadie: ” I can’t find them!” I guess they were pretty well hidden in the pleats…lol!

She looks so grown up in these pictures! I can’t believe how much she’s grown lately, too. Get ready for a slew of new dresses for her since she only fits about 3 of them right now! (and we all know that’s not nearly enough)

Sadie styled herself for this last pic. Why do I even try? Obviously she has talent in this department!

Wow I think this is my favorite geranium dress yet!! I love the fabric. What size did you sew for Sadie? My daughter is on the line of 5/6 and I haven’t bought the pattern since it only goes to size 5.

I love that fabric too. I bought the Geranium pattern the moment it went on sale because I love my Washi dresses so much. I’m not into matching with my kids, but I totally want to make my little girl a Geranium dress and wear my Washi dress too. Maybe for a mommy-daughter outing. I gotta do it while she’s too young to be embarrassed (13 mos). Your chubby-cheeked daughters are just so adorable.

Oooh so pretty! I had already spotted some versions with flutter sleeves which made me want to buy the pattern, but these sleeves are even cuter. The story about the pockets sounds familiar… First thing my daughter asks these days when I present her a new creation is: “Where are the pockets” and next “But WHY are there no pockets?”.

OMG _ that FABRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pattern is great too, I may have to bookmark it as something that has to get made once baby girl can walk (that time is no longer as far in the distance as it once was!!!)
